Burgaw, known for its quaint streets and small-town feel, is the seat of Pender County, North Carolina. This area is home to more than 11,000 seniors aged 65 and older, accounting for 18.6% of the population. Ideal temperatures year-round and an average of 212 sunny days per year make the city ideal for those seeking a moderate climate. Additionally, seniors on a tight budget may take advantage of the affordable overall cost of living, which is 13.5% lower than the national median.
Assisted living is a common retirement option among Burgaw residents with 20 such facilities in and around the area. This type of care generally comprises light housekeeping, help with personal care and medications, 24-hour supervision and other services to ensure seniors' safety and well-being. Assisted living rates for Burgaw weren’t available in the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey. However, retirees in Wilmington, about 30 miles south, can expect to pay $5,877 per month, much higher than the North Carolina average of $3,800.
SeniorScores provide insight into how convenient a city is for older adults by analyzing more than 100 relevant metrics, including average life expectancy and crime rates. Burgaw has a SeniorScore of 62, which is substantially lower than the average of 72 for both the United States and North Carolina. The city performed best in General Quality of Life at 66 points, and its lowest score was in Recreation & Leisure with 49 points.
Positive factors that helped increase Burgaw’s score in General Quality of Life include optimal air quality and pleasant temperatures with highs of 90 degrees in the summer and a minimum of 32 degrees come winter. Along with an annual average of just 1 inch of snow, these conditions are ideal for active seniors.
Burgaw received tied scores of 54 in the Health & Safety and Finances categories. The cost of living is slightly lower than North Carolina’s average, but the per capita income is also considered low. In terms of taxation, Social Security benefits are usually exempt, but pensions and withdrawals from retirement accounts are taxed at regular rates.
The city performed well in Health & Safety thanks to its low violent crime rates and numerous pharmacies. Although there’s only one health care facility in Burgaw, the Pender Memorial Hospital, residents are close to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, which U.S. News and World Report rates as one of the best in North Carolina. Finally, the area lost points in Recreation & Leisure partly because there are no churches or shopping centers around although seniors still have access to multiple nearby parks.
The SeniorScore™ is calculated based on over 100 variables, some of which are shown below. The final score is curved based on a linear curving method. For More info visit senioradvice.com/seniorscore.
